Liberalism is the product of an emotional disorder that inhibits maturity. The defining characteristics of leftists are that of an intractable child who is ignorant, uncomprehending, irresponsible, and recalcitrant. It takes years for most people to mature out of liberalism and become educated conservatives. Unfortunately for some – they never do.

I am not a degreed psychologist, but I am a student of humanity, a scholar, a soldier, a healer, and a believer with a lifetime of experience. No doubt there are liberals who believe that no one can be qualified to understand psychology and conduct psychoanalyses unless they have a piece of paper from a school saying so. But those of us who understand that life experience is superior to classroom learning know that to be a myopic, flawed understanding of how education works. It is liberal’s own failings that they project onto others the belief that one cannot learn unless told what to think by an academic rather than learn how to think for themselves with the guidance of a more experienced, righteous teacher. Learning through observation and doing is always superior to simple classroom application that occurs in a vacuum. Obama vs. Trump is a perfect example of how the former learned that socialism worked in the classroom, but when implemented in reality proves to be the dictates of a tyrant that crushes economies, while the latter learned through doing what businesses require to grow and learned so well he built a multi-billion dollar empire. Obama had the equivalent qualifications of a buck private who won a popularity contest to be General of the Army and the nation suffered for it, while Donald Trump brings to the office all the qualities of a supremely successful businessman. Yet liberals who watched Obama weaken America and empower Islam for eight years blindly follow leftist propaganda and wish to destroy Trump and America.

Liberals who grow up to remain liberals do so because they learn all the wrong lessons in life. There is a fine line and a vast gulf between the Left and the Right that is founded in their levels of maturity, comprehension, and logical reasoning. A study of leftist psychology is a study of deceivers and the fools constantly duped by them. They deliberately cause confusion over terminology, culture, and events in order to deceive others and themselves. The difference between 18th century liberalism, that is today called conservative Christianity, and modern liberalism, that was previously called socialism until Stalin, Hitler, and Mao revealed it for what it is, is a study in duplicity. The façade of social justice representing what is fair being nothing more than a smoke screen for their true nature – that of the totalitarian dictatorship of the tyrant which is the oppression of all. Their duality is revealed in how they teach propaganda rather than inform, how they indoctrinate rather than educate. This explains why there are people who believe the Holocaust was not committed by the Nazis, that the Asian genocide and enslavement was not conducted by Imperial Japan, but perpetrated against the Germans and Japanese by the “imperialist” United States. It is a study in how evil justifies itself.

Childish reasoning vs. Adults

Why? That’s the question children ask their parents the most. Sometimes parents know the answers and sometimes they don’t. That curiosity is what leads children to learn. Children, as all parents know, are loving and curious when they are growing, but when they become teenagers they change radically. The stages of life are infancy, childhood, teenage (the years of “insanity”) young adult, mature adult, elder adult. Those of us who clearly remember our teenage years recall that we though we knew everything about everything. It isn’t until we grew into adulthood that we began realizing how ignorant we were. At that point people either choose to learn or remain in the state of arrogant leftist denial. Peter Pan Syndrome is the diagnosis by which modern psychology identifies those who refuse to mature. This condition is in all of us and it is just a matter of degree how much each of us grows up. Some become fully mature adults, some retain some of their childhood whimsy, and some do not develop maturity. Maturity is measured by how one becomes responsible, truthful, considerate of others, and develops a work ethic. Becoming Christian is realizing one is not the most important person in the world, but that caring for others is the highest calling. All of us are born selfish only knowing that we must cry and demand our needs be satisfied. Children must be taught to share and tell the truth by being unless taught righteous morality. Otherwise they learn to be selfish, to lie, and to become devious. Some will lie right in front of your face when caught doing wrong thinking that they can deny what is patently obvious to others. That is why a leftist is often blind to how their lies become as plain as the nose on their face – a lesson Pinocchio learned literally. This is behavior that needn’t be taught as some children will develop this tendency naturally when they get in trouble, but is more often than not learned from immoral adults.

Today’s modern American liberals are those who believe they know the answers when they know little. That is why they are so easily duped by the science fraud of man-caused climate change, by Islamists asserting they are a peaceful religion, and by socialists professing to be an ideology that is fair and equal to all. They believe what they are told without question and live oblivious that there is more to know and understand. It takes decades for the average person to overcome their prejudice, ignorance, and naïveté to not be so gullible. Young liberals who fall into the trap of self-misconception and dysfunctional logic that leads to arrogant irrational thinking spend their lives suffering and frustrated. They learn to blame others for the problems they bring on themselves. This condition is next to impossible to escape so as long as they listen to those who tell them not to listen to those who speak the truth. They end up in an endless cycle of emotionalism opposed to reason. Without being able to weigh what is right against what is wrong they have no basis by which to choose between them. This is the fatal flaw of parents who seek to protect their children from evil that results in them never learning defenses against it. So when they go out into the world to face all kinds of people they easily succumb to evil rather than stand against it. This is often seen in the form of the Preacher’s Daughter Syndrome. They are ensnared by leftists who ideology is the ambiguous belief in moral relativism. To them it isn’t one side is good and one is bad. A moral person clearly sees the difference between the Nazis and Americans, Communists and Capitalists, Islamists and Christians. Just because both sides can behave nicely or atrociously, use the same weapons and tactics in war and politics, and both see themselves as the good guys, leftists think neither should be judged by their core tenets as good or evil. It is always obvious to the reasonable, impartial observer which side fights to conquer and enslave and which fights to defend liberty, but that can be confused in the minds of the ignorant by the deceitful who attempt to rewrite history. Instead of understanding that America in WWII fought for liberty, they think that when Nazis and Japanese were on the defensive that America became the aggressor. But just as Democrats fought to retain slavery, oppression, and murder during the American Civil War, the Nazis and Imperial Japanese did as well until their absolute defeat. Those ignorant of history and morality are easily duped into believing the lie that America is an imperialist power inflicting immoral subjugation on others. In short, leftists just confuse themselves into believing what is false.

Understanding that there are many, many people who are deceivers that tell lies to them about who and what they are is the life lesson that is of paramount to learn. Young liberals love to hear stories from those deceivers that declare them to be intelligent and insightful – to flatter them in order to cajole them down the wrong path. They love stories about how they are the brilliant heroes of the world and how the righteous are a bunch of dumb monkeys that shake sticks at the Moon and worship fantasies. Liberals believe they know more than their parents even though they don’t have half their life experience or a tenth of their knowledge. We saw this in Al Gore talking to school children about climate change when he told them they instinctively know what their parents don’t know as if their parents had never been children.

This is why Democrats want the voting age lowered to 16 when it should be raised to 25. Youngsters don’t begin to understand what is right in the world until they are out of school and spend a few years actually working in the world. Teenagers are the favorite target of the Left because they can be so easily misled through half-truths and innuendo. They teach them to not think clearly, to believe lies, and to reject the truth to the point that they are virtually brainwashed against learning right from wrong and refuse to debate the facts. They grow up to remain in Peter Pan Syndrome believing all adults are pirates who want to do them harm. Liberals don’t want to be told, “No,” “that’s bad,” or “you’re wrong!” People who tell them those things are “bad people” because they deny them what they want. That’s when the tantrums start. Whine, cry, scream, call names, throw things, smash things, loot and burn, riot. That’s why they blame the victim. “She wouldn’t have been raped if she didn’t dress like that,” meaning a woman cannot be sexy without a leftist perceiving this as an invitation to assault her rather than exercising his own self-restraint. They become self-righteous hypocrites who cannot tell the difference between truth and lies, right and wrong, or killing in self-defense and committing murder. They lack both a moral compass and a logical intellect, but are dominated by immature emotion. When you argue with a liberal and present the facts proving they are wrong they always resort to name calling, “bigot, racist, sexist, homophobe,” or try to beat you into submission by force, and then seek to discredit you as a person to their friends rather than discredit your argument because they can’t. They launch baseless attacks and when retaliated against then claim to be the victims. Worst of all is they are people who fool themselves and believe their own lies, which is a form of psychotic behavior that often leads to becoming a sociopath.

Along with their rejecting responsibility for themselves they feel entitled to what they do not earn. The battle cry of the Hippie Generation that became corrupted by sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll with its, “If it feels good, do it!” mantra, and falls for all the lies of socialism are at the heart of America’s decline. Leftists infiltrated the education system to indoctrinate rather than educate, and they took over the entertainment industry to perpetuate and propagandize their cultural corruption. They taught the young to want what they want when they want it even at the expense of others. Like spoiled brats these adult children want an authority figure in charge to be responsible for providing for them at any cost, yet like wild teenagers want to have complete freedom to misbehave at the expense of others. A fact of life that eludes them is you can’t have it both ways. Control comes at the expense of freedom and freedom comes at the expense of security. They cannot tell the difference between leading and ruling, between killing by committing murder or in self-defense. Education begins at home with the moral teachings by parents who raise their children to be responsible and considerate of others, or don’t raise them at all and let them run wild like animals to feed their need and greed. It is a curious thing that girls mature faster than boys, but boys grow past them in logic ruling over emotion. That’s why men become leaders and scientists. Even today when a woman can also be a leader or scientist so few do. No doubt some readers are even now saying this is sexist, but the fact remains that, when a choice came between a corrupt politician and a supremely successful businessman to run the country as president, the majority of women chose poorly.

The Dysfunctional Thinking of the Leftist

Leftists suffer from a form of psychotic, dysfunctional thinking in which people believe everything was stolen from them. They are the kind of people who never take responsibility for their own actions but always blame others. They believe that they are entitled to more and it’s how they rationalize in their own minds that they are justified in committing crimes up to and including theft, assault, and murder. This is why socialism appeals to them. Imagine being a farmer who grows food for his family and the government tells you to grow food for ten families, but your only reward is to feel good about helping others. It doesn’t matter if it’s for the good of the tribe, the country, or the people because you are not doing so out of the goodness of your heart, but because you are a slave to the state. But in their minds they make it right to steal from those who don’t give to them by justifying in their minds that those people somehow stole from them. This kind of thinking encourages them to become the thieves. Then they justify stealing from those who provide for them, such as their employers or parents. From there it’s just one more step to justify stealing from anyone who has more than they do because ‘their having more is excessive and they don’t need it’ while the thief wants it. A civilization that allows thieves to thrive is a society that is collapsing. This is why Democrats advocate for criminals under the guise they are the needy in society who are suffering because the privileged people are taking what they need. They say this is the measure of a civilization how it cares for the lowest of people. The true measure of civilization is in how they care for the weakest of its people, not how they care for the worst of people.

Liberals do not understand that the prospect of prosperity is motivating mostly because they are too lazy and ignorant to pursue it. Donald Trump is a self-made man. He created his wealth. It was not handed down. He is not like many rich people who form an elitist clique, which is why they scorn “new money.” That’s also why most of the world scorns America. But with that wealth comes power and with that power comes responsibility. People like Barrack Obama believe America stole her wealth rather than obtained it through honest trade. The nations that have prospered dealing with the U.S. lend the lie to his fallacy. The Left believes the masses are too stupid to know how to work for themselves and must be led by a ruler who dictates their actions like an ant colony. The Right is more social, more tribal in their beliefs that everyone works together for mutual benefit. This is supposed to be the tenets of socialism, but socialism is corrupted by leftists lacking a moral compass who cannot see the difference between talking about working together and forcing people to slave together. They believe forcing some to work for others is the same as charity. Imagine children whose parents tell them to do chores around the house. The older children are told to help their younger siblings. In a righteous home each is rewarded according to their participation and they learn the virtues of capitalism. However, in a leftist home dictated by socialism wherein each gives according to their abilities to each according to their needs, not only are the older ones not compensated for their extra efforts, but more is taken from them to give to the younger ones who contribute little. This kind of favoritism breeds jealousy and resentment.

Liberals learn the wrong lessons in life. Rather than learn a trade they learn to steal. Rather than follow God’s laws they learn to follow their own that results in them living by the law of the jungle behaving like animals. And rather than learn morality, they believe anyone who tells them they are right, even in their ignorance, and reject any who tell them they are wrong. Thus do liberals learn to believe what is not true and accept it as reality. It’s why they so readily believe scams like man-made global warming, frauds like socialism is fair for everyone, and deceits like Islam is a religion of peace. Leftists have used this ignorant following to conduct violent pogroms against whomever they choose. Throughout history leftists have corrupted the people to turn them against others and seize power, and to kill. They justify genocide by telling them lies like:

All pagans conduct human sacrifice

Jews are guilty of Blood Libel

Templars were a satanic cult

A world population over a billion people will cause a world famine

Man’s industries are polluting the air causing global warming

When Lincoln said, “You can fool some of the people all of the time,” liberal Democrats, especially the ones over thirty, are the people to whom he was referring. Theirs is a lifelong error of doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. The only cure for their insanity is education. Many listen to those who deliberately deceive them declaring they should not listen to those who speak the truth because the truth is a lie in their world. Liberals will always fall prey to deceivers until they learn not to be deceived. That is their nature. It comes naturally to everyone. Everyone is born ignorant and must learn morality. Those who do not condemn themselves to forever be the pawns of those who deceive for their own nefarious purposes.

Education, accountability, and learning morality are the keys to overcoming liberalism. Studies show that 40% of twenty year olds are still liberal, but half of them become conservatives by the time they are sixty. A lifetime of learning may be too slow to save America from going the way of Rome. The Romans are given short shrift by leftist ideologues who focus solely on what was considered bad while ignoring the fact that Rome civilized much of the ancient world. Likewise, they condemn America for mistakes and overlook the fact that America is solely responsible for the world not being engulfed in another Dark Age of socialism. Their belief that totalitarian socialism is a good thing because they think it is “fair” while ignoring its murderous ideology is the pinnacle of folly. You don’t get to dance with the Devil by the pale moonlight unless you’re ready to pay the piper at the morning light.

The first thing is to overcome false liberal teachings such as man can alter the climate of the planet to destroy all life. CO2 is a part of life and some leftists believe mankind is a virus that is killing our host planet. That’s how the beginning of genocidal righteousness begins. The movie, “Kingsman,” illustrated this neurotic, psychotic mentality and its end result. But the leftist global warming scam has been proven a lie repeatedly.

Historic liberal global warming fantasies that went bust:

Kuwaiti oil field fires will cause global warming and the Persian Gulf will completely die out forever.

After Hurricane Katrina the U.S. will be hit by Cat 5 hurricanes yearly.

Twelve years later the U.S. has not been hit by a major hurricane.

BP oil spill will destroy the Gulf and Atlantic coastlines.

Aside from Louisiana and a few tar babies in the Florida panhandle the ecological disaster failed to materialize.

The North polar ice will melt away forever by 2013.

Four years after the North Pole’s ice cap is as big as in the 1970s.

Leftist ideology is the heart of hate masquerading as righteousness. The Left has formed all of the hate groups throughout history. In America leftwing fascist hate groups include:

KKK

Communist Party

Nazi Party

Black Panthers

Green Movement

Black Lives Matter

AntiFa

Islam

Democrat Party

In summary, being a leftist is not just the opposite side of the scale between one method of doing what is right or another. There is not far left Communism and far right Nazis wherein both are the same totalitarian ideologies. The Left is the negative pole including all the negative emotions and negative thinking to the Right’s positive pole. There is righteousness and there is wrong. There is consideration for others and there is malice. The defining characteristics of the leftist are all the bad characteristics of human beings. They are the mirror of the Right using deceit and violence to enforce their will rather than truth and reason. They preach peace while practicing violence. They attack and provoke and when the righteous react violently in self-defense accuse them of being the wicked ones. Leftists are the bullies who would rather practice thievery than learn a trade. They have succumbed to the Dark Side of the Force, followed Satan in rebellion against God, and just plain chosen not to be considerate of others and be sharing, caring human beings, but chosen to be selfish and behave like the wild beasts serving only their own interests. Is it any wonder that this is so when they reject Christ? Why else are leftist parents who they tell their children – they do not come from God and have a heavenly soul yearning for goodness, but evolved from dumb apes – so surprised when their kids grow up to behave like animals? Then there are the foolish ones who believe what the leftists say and follow them blindly, closing their eyes and ears to the truth.

Settling into remaining a leftist is being less than humans can potentially be. We all start out on the far left being absolutely selfish, ignorant, and uncaring. Only through learning from the teachings of the righteous do we learn to follow that divine spark that tells us when we are wrong and learn compassion for others moving to right on the positive side of the scales. Everyone has an inkling of what is right and wrong, but the leftist chooses to ignore it, which is why they come to believe that stealing from those who are not as charitable as they believe they should be is right. It is a choice we must all make to change from being takers to being givers. There are many great moral stories from which to learn and that is how we teach our children. “Footprints,” “Star Fish,” “Light, Heat, and God.” Some movies teach righteous morality like “Lord of the Rings,” “The Matrix,” the Marvel and DC comic series, while others get lost in their misconceptions. Even so, liberals often misinterpret what they are being told. E.g. “Captain America: Civil War,” in which Steve Rogers fights for the American Way against globalism, but the leftist foolishly misinterprets that to be Rogers fighting against government oppression and Republicans are their oppressors. They don’t even know that Lincoln was a Republican, and if they do still believe the Republicans did a 180 and have swapped places in our culture with Democrats. Such self-delusions are almost impossible to overcome. Yet we must instruct our children to guide them down a righteous path rather than let them be wild and crazy to grow up to become self-righteous hypocrites. We all have that moral compass in our hearts that will guide is in righteousness. It’s just a matter of setting it to work right in our minds so it spins on its axis. Otherwise it’s like a broken clock – if you keep turning around in circles, it, too, will occasionally be right, but that doesn’t make it functional.

{The story of the atheist who demanded to know why, if God is only good, did he allow evil into the world: An atheist demanded to know of a Christian that if he thought God was so good and wonderful then why does he allow evil in the world? The Christian responded, “When you die you can ask Him.” To which the atheist scoffed, “Well if you can’t answer the question why don’t you ask him?” The Christian answered, “I wouldn’t dare.” “Why not?” demanded the atheist. To which the Christian said, “Because I’m afraid He would ask me the same question.”}

Just remember; the truth can be obscured, and though right and wrong are black and white, people are not. We all suffer from some degree of immaturity. You can have some good conservative Christian values yet still be taken in by liberal lies. Some liberal ideals are borrowed from conservatism, which is why when liberals campaign they always do so as if they are conservative. Everyone is different and no one has all the answers. Beware of those who say they do. This article is not definitive, but if it makes you think, it’s a good start. Keep your mind open and never assume the answer that you think is correct is until you examine it from all angles. It doesn’t take a genius to understand the difference between what is right and what is wrong. Just compare Sheldon Cooper with Forrest Gump. A closed mind is a terrible thing to use.

The maturity levels at MSNBC and CNN hit new lows as the Left becomes hysterical revealing their dark hearts. Calling Trump a deranged child, while exhibiting all their hatred in childish rage, the Media War with Trump unveiled their mask of objectivity to reveal them as the propagandists of the Democrat Party. This is how you know the Left for their true nature:

[Author’s Note: The leftwing media, which is the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party, are a prime example of how leftist bullies behave. They believe they have a right to slander, libel, and assassinate the character of anyone they choose with lies and be exempt from retaliation by claiming it is their 1st Amendment right. Sarah Palin is proving them wrong and, despite Democrat laws to protect their libelous media making it necessary to prove malicious intent and not just obvious lies, she is just one of many righteous people who have been smeared by leftists. Now that the media has been gob-smacked in the face by a man who fights back against them rather than cowering before them they are lying on the ground crying how mean he is being. That’s how bullies behave whenever they’ve been stomped by someone who will not be bullied. President Trump is the first real man since Ronaldus Magnus to hold the office of president and the leftist haters are rediscovering their inner wimp. Trump understands how to fight fire with fire and he’s outmaneuvering the liberal media in the manner of the Road Runner outfoxing Wile E. Coyote. When all they want to do is destroy Republicans and represent Democrats they stop being reporters and become propagandists. No wonder Trump refers to them as “Enemies of the State,” especially when they openly lie and claim they are being endangered when it is Republicans who are being rioted against and shot at! Many GOPers say Trump is wrong to be fighting back against the media through Twitter. But what he is doing is working great by driving them all nuts, whereas allowing them to perpetrate their technique is why the Bush presidency was trashed. Republicans had better pay attention and the people should learn from this never to give in to the Left or be fearful of their slanders. The truth will out and set you free!]

Excellent analysis, duskyk103. My only criticism involves a few punctuation, sentence structure and spelling errors. But otherwise, the points you made are irrefutable…unless the reader happens to be an older liberal with an atrophied “logic lobe;” but, in that case, his or her cognitive thought processes are permanently impaired anyway…and angry vitriol against any messenger of conservative thought is their only recourse.

darn it, this is my final draft and I know I should have fully proof read this first, but I’m going on a trip and am in a hurry. I always review my final draft before going to publication, but I wanted to publish this before I left. I’ll review it fully and make corrections when I get home. Thanks. I won’t submit it to iPatriot until it is cleaned up, and it will probably be in three parts.

Excellent article. Very informative and rings true to me. I’ve been searching and searching for why — WHY liberals/leftists believe what they believe. They are so positive they are right, it’s maddening. Thanks! 👍

Ronald Reagan hit on the answer to your question long ago when he opined that Democrats “know” a lot of things that just aren’t true. (Liberal indoctrination in our government schools is the main reason for this situation.)
